Domini* was Forgetful. LUDICROUS SCENE AT A MARRIAGE CEREMONY WHERE THE RING WAS LOST. A South Boston pastor narrated the following incident which came under his observa-1 tion in St. John, N. B., to a reporter of the Boston Herald : Two people in middle life sought out an aged and wellknown clergyman to tie the connubial knot. His advanced years had brought him a treacherous memory, and, with this uncertain quantity to deal ? with, he began the ceremony. There were luckily no witnesses to the amHsing scene but the clergyman's daughter-in-law and grandson. The preliminaries over, the ring was asked for. The groom was exceedingly nervous and could not find it. He searched in all his pockets, nhook his sleeve, run his hand down the Hide of his right leg in fear of a hole in his pantaloons pocket, he felt of his sock, and repeated the process, increasing in nervousness as he certainly did in blushes and awkwardness. Finally, the old gentleman sat down, while both witnesses assisted the...

Arabs in Now York. ?? *' It appears,"^says the New York Sun, " that Arabs swarm along Washington street, from Battery place to Carlisle street, and are now spreading along to Morris and Rector streets, on the lower west side of the city. Very few of the 4 swarthy sons of the desert ' wear their own picturesque garb after they have dwelt here a short time. They live in clusters in the mean old houses of that region of the city in which they have taken up their abode. There are a few wholesale dealers among them, but nearly all of them are peddlers of napkins, trinkets and cheap Arabian wares, earning from ten cents to ten dimes a day. It is rare to find any of them able to mutter more than a halfdozen words of English. They are not a vicious element, and are wholly free from crime. They do not quaff liquors or beer, but some of them take a little of the grape juice which is prepared by an Arab here. They do not mingle with nny of the other races in New York."
